I didnt mean any offence Billi! I still like you! ;D Just think songs like that are the reason society is gone to shite. no offense taken at all in the least! I often see what others enjoy and wonder what the hell they are thinking myself! ;D and you are quite right, it has brought down society. Those girls look like low class hookers!

I'm in a serious country phase right now.... I like a lot of different music but I'm swinging in country right now.
Pat Green, Sugarland (I love their new album!!), Miranda Lambert (she needs to seriously put out another album soon), and King George's retro stuff. Of course it's always the DCX first and foremost. I don't think that will ever change!!

I love Pat Green! he is awesome! I know!!! I think he's fantastic. IMO he doesn't get the kind of recognition he deserves.

I'm still on my Metallica kick. I'm listening to all the albums again and not just the new one. As am I as of late. A retro phase to say the least. Wait, I thought you were always on a Metallica kick? Been lately enjoying ...And Justice For All. Oh the lyrics!! best ever! Also, Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power Old skool!!! Arguably two of the best metal albums EVER.

Arguably two of the best metal albums EVER. LOL. Yep they are in the daily rotation of music I listen to, but as of late I've been listening to them more than I usually do. I go on these random kicks were all of a sudden I'm just listening to one band more than any others. I just came out of the Clash to Metallica and probably will go to AC/DC next since their album comes out on Monday. The Justice album lyrically is sublime, but I wished they hadn't mixed it in someones basement. They needed a lot more bass too. Master of Puppets and Ride the Lighting are my all time faves. I never really got into Pantera, but Dimebag was one hell of a guitarist. Rest his soul.

I never really got into Pantera, but Dimebag was one hell of a guitarist. Rest his soul. I think Justice is greatly unique in the fact that it is near vacant of (Jason's) bass guitar. Cliff had just died and so there was momentary dissarray while orientating a new bass guitar mamber and recording that new gig. The result (imo): an album that delivers profound bass depths via (Lars' double) bass drums in place of a guitar's. The album came out when I just entered high scool and it was a phenomenon because we metalheads really thought Cliff's death would be the end. I remember seeing 'burnouts' far and wide driving around with 'boom systems' (typically used for blasting rap music) jamming/bumping "Justice" songs. It was f***g awesome!, every time the double bass would hit!! but, jmo. ;D Pantera...sadly I favor only Vulgar. It's a masterpiece. Gosh, they were going to be a glam metal group. ;D Y'know the debate rages on of who/what killed 80's glam metal.... Pantera? or Grunge rock (Seattle)? Yet, I kina lost interest in them too shortly after that album, and because the "growl" vocal move started to take more effect in metal music. I actually can't get into that stuff. I've tried. ... But Vulgar is a masterpiece. I think it's the way all that (overdone) "growl" stuff that's around now should sound. ...But it doesn't. jmo. Yes, Puppets is the best ever. rock on! ;D

It's funny to read all the different music DCX fans listen to. It shows that the Chicks make great music that surpasses all rules about genres. They want to stick most groups into a certain box and they shouldn't. Anyway... I decided to check out Charlie Robison's music and he's pretty good. I like a few of his songs. That's what I've been listening to the last 3 days..watching youtube performances. It's funny because there's one video where he's singing El Cerrito Place and this drunk fan's in the audience. You can hear him singing over Charlie and he's waaaay out of it.

Yes, Puppets is the best ever. rock on! ;D Yeah I defintely understand trying to acalmate a new bassist into the band especially when he's replace a guy as good as Cliff was. But still they needed some bass. The double kicks didn't do it for me. There's nothing like a great bass line undereath all the guitars and counteracting with the drums. The best bands, at least the ones I love, have a way of doing that. I'll have to check out Vulgar then. I've only heard snippets of Pantera here and there, but never a whole album. MOP is truly one of the best metal albums ever. You rock boob!!!

Surely, you must have heard of "...And Justice For Jason" ?? Well, simply, you can peruse Youtube and hear the Justice songs with Jason's alternative recorded bass work mixed in. I haven't heard them all yet, nor am an expert on how it was compiled, sources, etc. But it is apparently real, minus some presentations that were done by random bass guitarists who attained Jason's notes. Among the feedback (of the Youtube vids) is mention that it often gets too loud or distorts the songs, not necessarily meaning from what we have already known them to be, but that the album is engineered without any bass guitar prevalence (except in To Live Is To Die) to begin with. The main guitars originally play more to replace the absence of a bass. Plus, Jason's bass lines, when you hear them, almost mirror James' rhythm guitar. Sort of bland if you think. So it couldn't rightfully be done unless Metallica actually re-did it completely. Somehow, someway, I think someday they will. He!!, they pulled off the Orchestara gig. Here is a webpage dedicated to the topic. www.killerchops.tv/metallica/justice-for-jason-video_eb467af71.htmlThe song "And Justice For All" by itself reveals that 'mirror' effect greatly. imo....it sounds better without. Love to hear what you think

Yeah I've read interviews that's why they turned it down in the mix as well. I understand why they came to that conclusion, but still give the man some props so he could at least be heard. I have listened to those Jason alt mixes on youtube and that site and it does sound blah, but that wasn't his fault. James and Lars refused to let him do anything different so we'll never really know what could've been. Still, I just felt the whole album was poorly mixed. Too much white noise IMO.

Chris Knight: "Heart of Stone"
(What a writer!)
"I grew up near what they call the flats, aint too many people knows where it's at. Can't hear the highway, can't see a way out - I guarantee it ain't nothin worth cryin' about
Daddy left us all back in '91, Left us all wonderin' what it was we done. I'd stand in the yard and stare down the road, I guess i must have missed him - I just dont know
Got the broken promises got the broken home - dont break yourself on a heart of stone
I married a girl I met in Tennessee, the baby didn't make it, so neither did we. I still think about her, but she's fadin' fast it dont do no good dwellin' on the past
got the broken promises got the broken home - don't break yourself on a heart of stone
Well I call mamma every now and then to say I'm comin home ,but I dont know when. Well I ran into daddy, but its been so long, I don't tell mamma, I dont let on
got the broken promises got the broken home - don't break yourself on a heart of stone
Well I got drunk with daddy just the other night he said "he was glad to see I turned out alright". I hear people sayin "like father like son" - dont think about it much, but I worry 'bout it some
a heart of stone dont break yourself on a heart of stone dont break yourself on a heart of stone"

Ah, yes - Hal's the tops; he can get right to the meaning of a song without needing to overstate anything.
And talking of Ketchums - here's another one : Ketchum Secor (fiddler and lead singer with the Old Crow Medicine Show)
I don't know why this 40th anniversary song hasn't made more impact this year - here's a live performance of "Motel in Memphis" from MerleFest

Just got Darrell Scott's "Invisible Man". Am in LOVE with "Shattered Cross". The album version is better than this version, it's darker. But, it's still pretty good here. Had no idea the Stuart Adamson connection (Big Country).

Of late, I have been revisiting "The Band That Launched A Thousand Bands"--the Ventures, who were recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and who are still touring and performing after fifty years of existence (YIPE!), having formed in Seattle in 1958.
Their 1960 smash "Walk Don't Run" is credited with having begun the surf-rock music explosion of that era, though they didn't consider themselves a part of the genre. Their basic, all-instrumental drums/bass/guitars sound, however, formed the basis for most of the West Coast rock sound that flourished well into the 1980s, influencing lots of musicians, including Joe Walsh and Stephen Stills, to name just two. Many of the studio effects that we kind of think as having originated throught the Beatles were actually pioneered by the Ventures themselves (reverse tracking; fuzz distortion; 12-string guitars).
They have always been primarily an album band (only six of their singles made it into the Top 40), but that distinction has made them the most successful all-instrumental band in rock history, with album sales of 110 million in all, a good many of them in Japan, where the language barrier isn't an issue with them, and where their album sales actually beat out the Beatles by a 2-1 margin. In 1969, the band incredibly had another major hit with their version of the theme from "Hawaii Five-O", which reached #4 nationally in May of that year and was #1 on some West Coast radio stations. In 1982, the Go-Gos dedicated their own original instrumental "Surfin' And Spyin'" to the Ventures. And this past March, all the members of the Ventures, past and present, including original members Bob Bogle, Nokie Edwards, their late drummer Mel Taylor, and Don Wilson were immortalized in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a much-deserved honor (IMHO).
